Amber Alert Notices:
Morgantown is the fastest growing city in West Virginia. With that growth comes additional challenges. We feel that we are in a position to meet those challenges as one of the most professional and respected law enforcement agencies in the state. Police Department Info/ContactsThe police department functions in a semi military fashion with a rank system. The department is commanded by the Chief of Police and is split into divisions that are commanded by a supervisor. Administrative/Staff Services
Detective DivisionThe Detective Division is responsible for the investigation of major crimes and the processing and collection of evidence.
Patrol DivisionWith our now familiar, highly visible black and white patrol vehicles, the Patrol Division is the largest component of the department. Operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, patrol officers will answer in excess of 40,000 emergency and non emergency calls for service each year.
Street Crimes UnitThe Street Crimes Unit is responsible for addressing specific problems within the City neighborhoods. Includes reducing violent crime; drug, narcotic, and alcohol enforcement; targeted traffic enforcement.
Special Services UnitThe Police Traffic Unit, Solid Waste Officer, and Downtown Beat assignment will be combined into a newly formed Special Services Unit (SSU), supervised by a Sergeant and initially staffed by 4 officers. The Special Services Unit will have the primary task of creatively dealing with quality of life issues. First and foremost, the Special Services Unit will be responsible for facilitating an improved partnership between our citizens and the Police Department. Officers assigned to the unit will work closely with neighborhood associations and downtown business owners. The unit will be committed to effectively solving neighborhood problems without placing a strain on the officers assigned to the patrol division.
Special Event InformationDue to the increasing number of requests for city services, The Morgantown City Council recently approved a policy to be followed by groups or organizations who plan to hold a special event. Additional Contacts and LinksInfo on Trash Enforcement |
